Have you been thinking about getting blepharoplasty surgery? We will discuss with you; what it entails, how much it costs, what to expect after your procedure and also what your recovery will look like.

What is a Blepharoplasty?

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) refers to a surgical procedure that improves the shape of the eyelids and reduces eyelid skin. You can have either an upper or lower Blepharoplasty.

• An Upper Blepharoplasty removes the excess or stretched skin of the upper eyelid to reduce a puffy, ‘hooded’ eyelid appearance.
• A Lower Blepharoplasty can help surgically reduce under-eye ‘bags’ and may address under-eye wrinkles, lines and puffiness.

• Less under-eye bags
• Fewer visible fine lines
• May improve your vision

Risks and Complications of  Blepharoplasty

Eyelid Lift Surgery (Blepharoplasty), like any surgical procedure, carries potential risks and complications. Some of these include:

• • Infection

• • Changes in Sensation

• • Scarring

• • Unsatisfactory Aesthetic Outcome

• • Anesthesia Risks

• • Delayed Healing

• • Need for Revision Surgery

It’s important to note that these risks are not exhaustive, and the likelihood of experiencing them can vary from patient to patient. Before undergoing Blepharoplasty, thoroughly discuss potential risks and complications with your board-certified plastic surgeon. They will provide detailed information and guidance to help you make an informed decision about the procedure.

Visit the risks of surgery page for more information.

The cost of surgery depends on a number of factors, including your Surgeon’s level of expertise and the condition of your eyelid area. This means the price for eyelid surgery in Melbourne can vary quite a lot. Therefore we will be able to give you a quote during your consultation.

We also provide information on Blepharoplasty and Medicare Rebates,. Most Patients sit between $8,000- $12,000 all inclusive.

Not all Surgeons have the same experience or intensive training and qualifications. Be sure you learn the differences between a Plastic Surgeon and a Cosmetic Surgeon.

Choosing a Specialist Plastic Surgeon means you are choosing an accredited recognised plastic surgeon who only performs surgery in an accredited hospital.
